Your  Choice  of  Over  One  Hundred  Modern  Homes 


Plans  Drawn  by  Licensed  Architects  of  Wide  Experience,  Embodying  All  the  Very 

Newest  Ideas  in  Convenient  and  Artistic  Arrangement 


Hundreds  of  our  customers  during  the  past  year  selected  homes  from 
former  editions  of  this  book,  built  them  or  had  them  built  by  contract 
according  to  our  plans  and  with  our  materials,  and  they  saved  from 
$500.00  to  $1,000.00  each.  These  big  savings  have  made  them  our  best  adver¬ 
tisers.  Read  the  letters  from  customers  on  page  114  and  see  the  pictures  of 
their  homes  on  page  115. 

We  satisfy  our  customers  by  furnishing  the  highest  grades  of  material 
at  lower  prices  than  are  asked  anywhere  else.  They  all  endorse  our 
methods  and  recommend  them  to  others.  While  our  estimates,  including 
labor,  on  the  houses  in  this  book  are  considered  very  low,  many  of  our 
customers  have  built  according  to  our  plans  for  even  less  than  our  figure. 
Furthermore,  our  proposition  is  different  from  any  other,  because  we  guar¬ 
antee  every  dollar’s  worth  of  building  material  we  sell.  Should  we  fail  to 
please  you,  you  take  no  risk;  you  are  at  liberty  to  return  all  or  any  part 
of  the  material  purchased  from  us  which  proves  unsatisfactory  and  we  will 
cheerfully  return  your  money  and  any  freight  charges  you  have  paid. 

Consider  carefully  the  houses  shown  in  this  book,  study  the  floor  plans 
of  each,  and  when  you  find  a  house  that  appeals  to  you  write  for  the  plans, 
specifications  and  itemized  bill  of  materials  in  accordance  with  our  offers 
on  page  3.  Our  plans  or  blue  prints  are  much  more  carefully  drawn  than 
the  plans  provided  by  the  average  architect  who  charges  from  $100.00  to 
$200.00  for  his  services,  ours  being  accurate  and  correct  in  detail.  They 
are  the  work  of  architects  of  wide  experience;  the  typewritten  specifications 
thoroughly  cover  the  method  of  constructing  the  house,  insuring  a  first 
class  job.  The  bill  of  materials,  which  is  a  part  of  our  plans,  but  which  is 
never  supplied  by  the  average  architect,  carefully  itemizes  every  foot  of 
lumber,  every  item  of  building  material  of  every  description;  in  fact,  this 
bill  of  materials  is  our  bid.  We  will  agree  to  furnish  all  materials  for  the 
amount  specified  in  our  bill  of  materials,  which  amount  to  the  same  as  the 
amount  specified  in  the  pages  of  this  book  for  each  house. 


The  cost  of  the  original  tracings,  the  writing  ot  the  original  specifica¬ 
tions  and  bill  of  materials  for  each  of  the  houses  in  this  book  is  from 
$100.00  to  $200.00,  varying  according  to  size  and  style  of  the  house.  From 
the  original  tracing  sheets  we  have  reproduced  a  large  number  of  plans 
and  have  printed  a  supply  of  bills  of  materials.  We  are  offering  them  to 
our  customers  on  a  very  liberal  plan,  enabling  you  to  get  plans  of  the  very 
highest  class,  with  specifications  and  bills  of  materials  which  originally 
cost  $100.00  to  $200.00,  for  $1.00  in  cash  or  free  of  charge,  as  per  our  offers 
on  page  3. 

Our  object  in  making  such  a  liberal  offer  to  the  public  is  to  quickly  con¬ 
vince  prospective  builders  that  we  can  make  them  big  savings  in  building 
material.  While  one  might  possibly  overlook  the  fact  that  we  can  make 
him  a  saving  of  a  few  dollars  on  any  one  item,  he  cannot  overlook  the  fact 
that  we  can  save  him  $150.00  to  $1,500.00  or  more  on  a  building.  This  Book 
of  Modern  Homes  puts  the  matter  of  our  money  saving  prices  so  forcibly 
before  the  prospective  builder  that  he  cannot  overlook  the  great  advantages 
in  buying  mill  work  and  all  building  materials  from  us.  Our  bill  of 
materials  forms  a  basis  for  comparison;  in  fact,  it  is  our  bid.  You  can  tell 
at  once  just  what  any  part  of  the  building  material  will  cost  you,  or  the 
whole  lot,  as  you  please.  It  furnishes  convincing  proof  that  we  can  make 
you  a  very  large  saving. 

There  is  no  mystery  in  our  prices;  they  are  simply  the  natural  result 
of  our  well  known  policy  of  merchandising,  selling  goods  at  prices  based 
on  the  actual  cost  to  produce  with  but  one  profit  added.  Tbe  application 
of  this  principle  to  mill  work,  lumber,  lath,  shingles  and  other  building 
material — a  line  on  which  everybody  has  been  obliged  to  pay  big  prices 
heretofore  because  of  market  conditions,  monopolies,  manufacturers’  agree¬ 
ments  or  local  associations  made  for  the  purpose  of  keeping  up  prices — 
enables  us  to  make  you  a  large  saving,  while  at  the  same  time  we  are  able 
to  give  you  absolutely  the  finest  quality  throughout.  Every  item  of  building 
material  we  handle  is  backed  by  our  unlimited  guarantee  of  satisfaction  or 
money  returned. 

On  pages  near  the  back  of  this  book  we  show  designs  for  barn  plans.

by  licensed  architects  of  wide  experience  at  a  cost  to  us  of  from 
$100.00  to  $200.00  per  set.  We  have  gone  to  considerable  expense 
to  reproduce  these  blue  prints  from  the  original  tracing  sheets  by 
printing  and  preparing  many  sets  of  specifications  and  bills  of  materials 
for  our  customers,  but  for  the  purpose  of  getting  the  public  acquainted

plainly  itemizes  every  kind  of  material  required  in  the  building  of 
any  one  of  these  houses  and  which  serves  as  our  bid  for  the  entire 
building,  even  though  they  were  duplicated  in  vast  quantities,  could 
not  be  disposed  of  profitably  according  to  our  offers.  Our  only 
object  is  to  convince  you  that  we  can  save  you  from  $150.00  on  a

Living  and  Dining  Room  of  Our  Bungalow  No.  151 


This  illustration  is  an  exact  reproduction  of  the  interior  of  our 
Bungalow  No.  151,  looking  through  the  living  room  into  the  dining  room, 
and  is  a  perfect  picture  of  simjjle  elegance  and  homelike  comfort. 

Note  the  large  rustic  brick  hreplace  with  a  leaded  art  glass  sash  and  a 
seat  on  each  side.  The  Colonial  columns  and  balustrade  work  are  new 
and  up  to  date  features  which  are  being  used  only  in  high  priced  houses, 
h'rom  the  first  impression  you  would  think  this  house  would  cost  over 
$1,000.00,  but  we  make  it  possible  for  you  to  build  it  for  less  than  $2,000.00. 

Compare  this  house  with  similar  houses  already  built  in  your  neighbor¬ 
hood  at  a  cost  of  from  $1,000.00  to  $5,000.00.  There  are  many  reasons  why 
such  homes  are  usually  very  expensive.  Architects  charge  all  the  way 
from  $100.00  to  $150.00  for  a  set  of  plans  and  specifications.  This  is  the 
amount  we  save  you  to  start  with,  and  our  competent,  practical  and  expert 
architects  specif}'  stock  sizes  and  patterns  of  doors,  windows,  trim,  etc.. 


which  enables  you  to  buy  your  materials  for  several  hundred  dollars  less 
than  you  could  buy  them  if  they  were  furnished  according  to  ordinary 
architects’  specifications,  which  in  most  cases  are  odd  sizes  and  patterns 
and  have  to  be  made  to  order. 

We  own  our  own  saw  mill  and  ship  lumber  direct  from  our  mill  to 
you.  We  also  control  the  output  of  one  of  the  biggest  mill  work  factories 
in  the  country  and  ship  all  doors,  windows,  moldings,  in  fact,  a  complete 
line  of  mill  work  and  building  materials,  direct  to  you.  In  this  way  we  save 
you  several  hundred  dollars  which  is  usually  paid  for  profits  to  jobbers  and 
retail  dealers. 

Don't  build  until  you  have  had  our  quotations  on  materials. 

Our  plans  are  so  complete  in  every  detail  that  any  ordinary  workman 
can  build  any  one  of  the  houses  shown  in  this  book,  with  no  lost  time  what¬ 
ever  to  figure  out  how  the  different  parts  are  to  be  put  together.

SAVED  $700.00  ON  ONE  ORDER. 

Cheyenne,  Wyo. 

Sears.  Roebuck  and  Co..  Chicago,  Ill. 

Oeiitlemen: — In  regard  to  carload  of  mill  work  and  finishing  lum¬ 
ber  would  .say  that  by  purchasing  same  from  your  firm  T  \vas  enabled 
to  save  at  least  $700.00  on  an  eight-room  house.  When  one  considers 
that  quarter  sawed  oak  flooring  may  be  purchased  from  you  at  $48.00 
per  1.000  feet  as  against  $100.00  per  1.000  feet  in  this  locality,  the  sav¬ 
ing  on  1.000  feet  of  quarter  sawed  oak  flooring  alone  was  sufficient  to 
pay  one-half  the  freight  charges  on  the  entire  carload.  As  to  the 
quality  of  the  lumber  and  mill  work  would  say  that  the  goods  speak  for 
themselves  as  being  A  1.  The  promptness  of  delivery  when  nothing 
but  stock  sizes  are  ordered  appeals  to  me  so  strongly  that  I  am  now 
daily  exT)ecting  the  arrival  of  a  carload  of  mill  work  ordered  from  you 
about  ten  days  ago.  Assuring  you  of  my  continued  patronage.  I 
remain.  Yours  truly,

SAVED  $300.00  AND  GOT  HIGH 
GRADE  MATERIAL. 

Norwalk.  Olilo. 

Sears,  Roebuck  and  Co..  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen: — The  amount  I  saved  on 
material  was  about  $300.00.  I  was  well 
satisfied  with  all  of  the  lumber  and  ma¬ 
terial.  You  sent  me  material  compared 
with  material  here  about  a  grade  higher. 
I  think  I  have  got  the  nicest  house  in 
town  for  the  money.  I  have  not  got  my 
house  completed  as  yet,  but  when  it  is,  if 
you  wish  a  picture  of  it  I  will  have  one 
taken  and  send  you  one. 

Very  truly  yours. 

F.  D.  CRONK.

HE  AND  HIS  CONTRACTOR  ARE  VERY  MUCH  PLEASED  WITH  OUR  MATE¬ 
RIALS  AND  HIS  HOUSE  HAS  THE  ADMIRATION  OF  THE  NEIGHBORHOOD. 

Sears.  Roebuck  and  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill.  Wade.  Penn. 

Dear  Sirs: — The  house  which  I  have  built  according  to  plans  of  house  No.  24  is 
about  completed  and  it  is  the  admiration  of  most  of  the  people  around  here.  I  built 
the  first  story  brick  and  the  upper  part  pebble  dash  and  it  is  considered  a  beautiful 
home.  I  followed  the  plans  to  the  letter,  except  all  the  bedrooms  are  square  and  I 
had  three  windows  put  in  the  attic  and  a  stairway  up  to  it  instead  of  the  linen  closet. 
I  now  have  an  attic  over  the  entire  house  and  can  use  it  for  storage  or  to  put  several 
beds  in  if  I  so  desire.  I  have  a  complete  bathroom  and  I  consider  that  I  have  the 
best  house  that  has  been  built  around  here  for  some  time,  for  the  price.  The  mill  work 
which  I  bought  from  you  exceeded  my  expectations  and  is  satisfactory  in  every  way  and 
it  was  bought  very  much  cheaper  than  I  could  have  bought  it  around  here.  The  con¬ 
tractor  praised  it  highly  and  talks  of  ordering  more  of  the  same  kind  from  you.  The 
saving  in  price  of  mill  work  is  considerable.  I  am  pleased  with  everything  that  I 
received  from  you  connected  with  the  building  and  it  will  no  doubt  be  the  means  of 
more  houses  going  up  in  this  locality  just  like  it.  I  have  loaned  my  Book  of  Modern 
Homes  to  a  friend  who  says  he  is  going  to  build  in  the  near  future.  If  I  build  again 
I  will  send  to  you  for  all  the  lumber  which  it  would  require  to  build  the  house,  as  I 
can  now  see  how  much  better  and  cheaper  it  would  be  for  me  to  buy  it  from  you.  If 
I  knew  how  to  praise  your  mill  work  and  plans  more  highly  I  would  do  so.  Every  piece 
of  mill  work  was  more  than  sufficient  to  do  the  work  intended  for  it. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 

W.  G.  GITTINS’.

cles  wanted.  Everyone  that  sees  the  articles  in  this  order  speaks  well  of  them. 
Thanking  you  for  your  promptness  in  filling  my  order,  I  remain.

Gentlemen: — I  have  just  built  a  house  for  myself.  I  am  not  in  the  house  building 
business,  but  if  I  were  you  may  feel  sure  that  I  would  get  all  of  my  building  mate¬ 
rial  from  your  house.  I  was  perfectly  satisfied  with  everything  I  got  from  you  and  I 
never  tire  in  telling  my  neighbors  and  friends  of  the  quality  and  perfection  of  any¬ 
thing  that  you  handle.  I  have  told  some  of  my  friends  who  are  going  to  build  in 
the  spring  that  the  best  thing  they  could  do  is  to  get  all  their  mill  work  from  your 
house,  and  I  take  great  pleasure  in  demonstrating  to  them  that  your  goods  are  the 
best  on  any  market.  Yours  truly.

Sears,  Roebuck  and  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen : — I  wish  to  state  the  finishing  lumber,  flooring, 
moldings,  windows  and  window  frames  I  ordered  from  you  were 
very  satisfactory  and  am  well  pleased.  I  can  assure  you  that  I 
have  saved  almost  half  in  some  things.  I  have  built  several  houses 
and  sold  them  for  low  prices  and  made  a  good  profit  on  them. 
I  could  do  so  because  I  liought  for  considerably  less  than  I  could 
have  got  the  materials  here,  and  find  all  as  good  if  not  better  than 
can  be  gotten  elsewhere.  I  saved  40  per  cent  on  my  front  and 
vestibule  doors,  and  .?17.00  on  a  small  batch  of  windows  for  one 
house.  I  can  recommend  your  ways  of  doing  business  to  the 
highest.  Yours  very  truly,

GREATER  ECONOMY=BIGGER  PROFITS 


BY  BUILDING  TWO  OR  MORE  HOUSES  AT  THE  SAME  TIME.  ALL  LIVE  REAL  ESTATE  OPERATORS  AND 
CONTRACTORS  ARE  NOW  BUILDING  ON  A  LARGER  SCALE  WHEREVER  POSSIBLE. 


DO  DIKE  THE  LARGEST  READ  ESTATE  OPERATORS  ARE  NOW  DOING. 
Improve  your  properly  by  building;  on  a  liflle  larger  scale  and  reap  the  big  benefits 
either  In  tlie  way  of  inereasing  your  profits  or  doulding  ]iereentage  of  earnings  on 
your  investment.  Houses  l)uilt  one  at  a  time  under  ordinary  conditions  wlihdi  would 
earn  you  10  i)er  cent  would  easily  earn  you  l.o  or  50  per  cent  more  profit  if  the  same 
(luality  of  house  was  built  six  at  one  time. 

THERE  .ARE  M.ANA’  REASONS  AVHY  A'OII  CAN  EOAVER  YOUR  BUILDING 
COSTS  b.v  Ibis  jiroeedure.  Here  are  just  a  few  illustrations.  For  instance,  excavat¬ 
ing.  While  laliorers,  horses,  scoops  and  other  utensils  are  on  the  ground,  six  base¬ 
ments  can  be  excavated  at  a  slight  advance  over  a  lesser  number.  As  much  as  25  jier 
cent  can  be  saved  on  this  procedure  aloiu'.  The  cost  of  foundation  walls,  especially 
when  made  of  concrete,  can  be  considerably  reduced  in  price  when  the  forms  for 
concrete  work  can  be  used  for  a  numlier  of  houses,  as  the  cost  of  lumlier  for  making 
the  forms,  and  the  labor,  can  be  entirely  saved  for  all  additional  houses,  and  by 
placing  a  larger  order  for  concrete  or  masonry  work,  any  up  to  date  contractor  is 
willing  to  make  big  concessions  in  price. 

BUILDING  ON  .A  L.ARGER  .SC.ALE  enables  the  various  contractors  and  sub¬ 
contractors  to  proceed  from  one  building  to  the  next  without  loss  or  delay.  Carpenters 
can  lay  out  their  framing  work  for  six  liouses  at  one  time.  While  one  house  is  in  the 
course  of  framing,  anotlier  house  will  l)e  under  its  roof,  and  carpenters  during 
inclement  weatlnu-  can  always  be  worked  to  the  very  best  possible  advantage,  which 

means  low  building  cost  for  c-arpenter  Ittlior.  Plasterers  and  iiaiuters  jiroceed  in  a  like 

manner,  all  of  them  doing  tin'  work  to  the  very  best  advantage  and  at  the  very  lowest 
cost.  Furtliermore,  mucli  closer  suiiervision  can  be  had  when  a  number  of  houses 
are  built  close  together  at  one  time,  as  the  contractor  or  foiamian  can  carefully  watch 
the  work  as  it  progresses,  making  every  penny  paid  for  labor  count  to  the  very  best 
advantage. 

AYE  .ARE  SELLING  MANY'  OF  THE  HOUSES  SHOAYN  IN  THIS  BOOK  in  lots  of 
fifteen  to  twenty-five  houses,  all  of  which  are  built  in  numbers  of  five  to  ten  at  one 

time.  Realty  operators  and  .contractors  building  in  this  manner  <daim  an  actual 

saving  of  from  10  to  25  per  cent,  and  claim  to  give  the  owner  far  better  satisfaction 
than  would  I)o  iiossible  if  building  one  liouse  at  a  time.  On  the  following  pages  90 
and  91  we  show  tliese  very  s.ame  houses  sei)arately  with  a  larger  illustration  and  quote  a 


total  price  for  all  the  material  to  complete  these  houses.  In  designing  these 
houses  it  has  been  our  aim  to  have  Modern  Homes  No.  193,  No.  194  aud  No.  190, 
with  foundations  of  exactly  the  same  dimensions,  thus  enabling  a  contractor 
when  laying  out  his  work  and  making  lus  form,  to  use  the  same  forms  on  the  three 
different  houses,  all  different  in  design  from  an  exterior  viewpoint  yet  similar  in 
foundation  and  arrangement  on  the  inside.  We  also  have  idanne<l  Alodern  Homes 
No.  192,  No.  195  and  No.  197  in  a  similar  manner,  whicli  enables  realt.v  operators  or 
individuals  who  are  building  on  a  larger  scale  for  the  pur|)ose  of  renting,  speculation 
or  selling,  to  do  the  work  in  the  most  economical  manner  at  the  ver.v  lowest  possible 
cost  ami  still  be  in  position  to  erect  tlie  six  liouses  one  next  to  the  other  without 
being  confronteii  udth  the  monotony  that  is  found  in  many  localities  where  the  same 
sidieme  has  been  followed  out,  by  making  sliglit  changes  in  the  front  elevation,  but 
not  sufficient  to  make  the  house'  look  as  though  eacli  one  was  au  entirely  different 
pattern  or  design,  as  we  aim  to  do.  aud  as  illustrated  abovt'.  The  above  illustration 
shows  six  modern  homes  shown  on  pages  90  aud  91  erected  one  next  to  the  (itlier  on 
adjoining  lots.  One  can  see  at  a  glance  that  there  is  no  monotony  or  similarity  in 
their  appearance,  yet  they  are  constructed  on  similar  foundations  and  three  of  each 
have  Identical  interior  arrangements. 

IJIPROAE  A’OUK  A'.AC.ANT  I’ROPERTA’.  If  yo«i  adopt  this  seheiue  of  building 
two  or  more  houses  at  a  time  your  liouses  will  be  sold  long  before  they  are  completed 
or,  if  rented,  tliey  will  double  tlu'  interest  on  your  money.  Investments  of  this  kind 
are  readily  financed  by  Iianking  institutions  or  money  lenders,  as  they  realize  that  the 
security  is  the  best  that  can  lie  had. 

DON’T  FORGET  that  when  building  in  tiiis  manner  you  are  cutting  out  all  delays, 
you  are  saving  in  the  cost  of  bringing  the  scaffolding  and  utensils  from  one  job  to 
the  other,  you  are  practically  building  six  houses  with  the  same  amount  of  trouble 
and  attention  that  is  necessary  when  Iiuildiug  one. 

TO  THO.SE  AVHO  ONLY  AY.VNT  TO  Bl  ILD  ONE  HOUSE  FOR  RESIDENCE  OR 
OTHER  PURPOSES,  you  can  make  no  mistake  in  selecting  any  one  of  the  designs 
on  the  following  pages.  Each  one  of  them  is  considered  very  good,  of  a  convenient 
arrangement,  and  the  excellent  material  used  puts  these  houses  on  a  par  with  any 
other  house  we  show  in  this  book.  We  siniidy  liave  jiointed  out  the  advantages  of 
building  more  than  one  hotise  at  a  time,  which  is  now  being  practiced  by  all  tlie 
largest  and  most  up  to  date  realty  operators  in  this  country.

MADE  HOUSES  AND  GARAGES 


WHY  OUR  PRICES  ARE  SO  LOW.  The  cost  of  a  ready  made  building  depends  on  the  cost  of  lumber,  as 

half  of  the  entire  cost  is  in  this  one  item  alone.  We  manufacture  our  own  lumber  from  our  own  logs  in  our  big 
Southern  mills.  Our  ready  made  building  factory  is  operated  in  connection  with  our  big  40-acre  lumber  yard  in 
Southern  Illinois.  We  are  independent  of  the  lumber  trust  and  our  method  of  “from  stump  to  consumer”  saves  you 
the  jobbers’  profit,  the  wholesale  dealers’  profit  and  the  retail  dealers’  profit.  We  make  you  a  further  saving  by 
manufacturing  our  Simplex  Portable  Buildings  in  large  quantities  at  our  new  modernly  equipped  factory.  All  this 


saving  goes  to  the  customer  buying 
a  Simplex  Ready  Made  Building  in 
the  way  of  lowering  the  price  and 
bettering  the  quality.  Shipped  from 
factory  in  Southern  Illinois.  We 
carry  a  full  assortment  in  stock 
ready  for  instant  delivery.^  We  can 
fill  your  order  within  five  days. 
Our  houses  can  be  put  up  ready  to 
live  in  within  a  few  hours.  No  saw 
or  plane  or  other  tools  necessary. 
The  only  tools  required  are  a 
wrench,  hammer  and  screwdriver.

B.VRN  No.  16  is  30  feet  wide,  54  feet  long  and  16  feet  high  to  the  eaves, 
it  is  linilt  of  solid  timber  construction  with  gambrel  roof.  This  roof 
is  of  the  self  supporting  t.vpe  and  offers  no  obstruction  to  the  free 
operation  of  the  hay  carrier.  Floor  jdans  show  six  horse  stalls  arranged 
across  the  building  and  two  rows  of  cow  .stalls  facing  a  feed  alley  running 
at  right  angles  to  the  horse  stable.  This  space  will  be  found  sufficient  to 
comfortably  accommodate  from  sixteen  to  eighteen  head  of  cattle. 

The  horse  stable  is  entirely  separate  from  the  cattle  stable,  though  one 
of  the  stalls  may  be  used  for  a  passage  if  desired.  A  stairway  is  provided 
in  the  feed  alley  leading  to  the  second  floor,  and  the  hay  chute,  as  well  as 
the  grain  chute,  are  conveniently  located  so  as  to  reduce  the  labor  of  feed¬ 
ing  to  a  minimum.  The  grain  room  is  on  the  second  floor,  extending 
entirely  across  one  end  of  the  barn.  This  room  will  hold  a  large  amount 
of  feed  and,  if  desired,  may  be  subdivided  into  bins. 

The  lumber  we  furnish  is  No.  1  grade.  The  3%-Ply  Red  Slate  Prepared 
Roofing  is  guaranteed  to  last  twelve  years  and  looks  better  than  shingles. 

We  furnish  paint  sufficient  for  two-coat  work  for  the  exterior  wood¬ 
work.  Your  choice  of  colors. 

This  barn  is  built  on  a  concrete  block  foundation  and  has  concrete 
floor  in  all  passages  and  feed  alleys.

Dear  Sirs: — The  car  of  lumber  which  I  ordered  from  you  arrived  all  O.  K.  and 
would  say  that  the  grade  of  the  lumber  was  better  than  I  expected.  The  grade  which 
I  bought  for  sheathing  was  as  good  as  I  can  buy  here  for  the  best  grade  of  yellow 
pine:  in  fact  was  good  enough  to  make  pulley  stiles  and  door  iambs  of.  The  finishing 
lumber  was  the  best  grade  of  yellow  pine  that  I  have  seen  for  a  long  time,  and  the 
joist  and  studding  were  better  than  I  expected.  I  would  cheerfully  recommend  anyone 
wanting  lumber  of  a  good  grade  to  have  no  fear  of  ordering  lumber  from  you. 

I  consider  that  I  saved  $6.00  to  $8.00  on  a  thousand  feet  and  received  a  far  better 
grade  than  tlie  dealers  here  handle.  Will  place  my  mill  work  order  with  you  in  a  few 
days. 

Thanking  you  in  advance  for  your  prompt  attention  to  my  orders,  I  am.

permit  driving  into  with  a  load  of  hay. 

The  material  we  supply  for  this  building  is  first  class  in  every  way. 
The  framing  lumber  is  all  No.  1.  The  Red  Slate  Surfaced  Roofing  used  on

of  colors. 

The  barn  is  built  on  a  concrete  block  foundation  which  should  be

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  the  lumber  from  you  and  found  everything  very  satisfactory. 

I  am  highly  pleased  with  my  purchase.  My  contractor  says  that  he  has  not  at  any 
time  seen  such  flne  lumber.  If  I  can  influence  anyone  to  buy  from  you  I  shall  do  so. 
My  carpenter  tells  me  that  he  could  not  build  a  house  with  the  same  kind  of  material 
and  buy  the  material  in  Hamilton  for  less  than  a  25  per  cent  advance  over  the  price 
of  my  house.  I  can  speak  most  highly  of  the  material.  Very  truly  yours,

far  better  than  shingles. 

As  will  be  seen  from  the  floor  plan  the  barn  has  a  12-foot  drivew’ay 
with  doors  high  enough  to  admit  a  full  load  of  hay  so  that  the  barn  may  be 
filled  from  the  inside.  A  hay  door  is,  however,  also  provided  at  one  end. 
through  which  hay  may  be  taken  In  with  the  carrier.

PURE  WHITE  TILE  FOR  THE  BATHROOM  FLOOR  AND  WALLS 

This  tile  is  made  of  clay  and  burned  in  a  kiln  at  an  intense  heat  until  it  is  vitreous.  The  most  sanitary, 
durable  and  beautiful  treatment  for  bathrooms.  A  tile  floor  lasts  forever.  It  is  non-absorbent  and  as  hard  as 
glass.  Moisture  and  dirt  are  easily  wiped  off  the  surface  with  a  cloth  and  no  scrubbing  is  necessary. 

We  are  the  originators  of  selling  this  material  direct  to  the  user.  We  offer  you  your  first  opportunity  to 
secure  floor  tile  and  wall  tile  at  any  price.  The  associations  of  tile  manufacturers  and  tile  layers  have  hereto¬ 
fore  controlled  both  the  production  and  the  distribution  of  tiles  and  have  made  it  impossible  for  a  home  owner 
or  a  contractor  to  buy  tile.  Tliey  have  forced  all  tile  users  to  contract  with  them  for  the  work  complete  and 
have  made  large  profits  on  both  the  tile  and  on  the  work  of  laying  it.  Now  that  we  have  placed  this  material 
on  the  open  market  there  is  no  longer  any  reason  why 
every  modern  home  should  not  have  a  fully  tiled  bath¬ 
room,  kitchen,  vestibule  and  porch  floor.  There  is  noth¬ 
ing  better  for  the  bathroom  than  a  pure  white  floor  of 
hexagonal  tiles  and  for  the  walls,  white  glazed  tile  with 
sanitary  cove  base  and  neat  cap.  If  colors  are  wanted 
they  can  be  had  to  suit  almost  any  taste  or  color 
scheme.  White  wall  tile  is  made  usually  in  (jx2-inch 
and  6x3-inch  sizes,  but  we  can  furnish  all  other  standard 
sizes  if  wanted.

location  of  the  doors  and  windows  and  tell  us  how  high 
you  want  the  wainscot  and  we  will  advise  you  just  what 
the  total  cost  will  be,  including  the  cap  and  base  with 
corner  angles  and  door  stops.  If  you  want  to  use  plain 
wall  tile  without  cap  or  base,  you  can  send  for  the  num¬ 
ber  of  square  feet  you  want  at  the  above  price  and  we

Comfort  Steam  or  Hot  Water  Three-Column  Radiators 


SHIPPED  FROM  FACTORY  IN  WESTERN  PENNSYLVANIA. 


OUR  RADIATORS  ARE  OF  THE  LATEST  IMPROVED  DESIGN,  AND 
THE  PATTERN  CANNOT  FAIL  TO  BE  ACCEPTABLE  TO  ANY 
OF  OUR  CUSTOMERS,  AS  IT  IS  NEAT  AND  ATTRACTIVE 


Our  hot  water  radiators  are  constructed  to  hold  a  pint  of  water  to  a  foot  of  radiating  surface.  This 
enables  us  to  have  a  wider  space  between  the  sections  for  the  circulation  of  the  air  and  enables  the  radiators 
to  do  more  effective  work  in  giving  out  heat,  both  by  radiation  and  contact  with  the  air.  The  castings  are 
made  of  the  finest  grade  of  gray  iron  of  uniform  thickness,  with  corrugated  lieating  surface,  and  are  free  from 
all  flaws  and  pinholes.  The  radiators  are  tested  to  70  pounds  pressure  before  leaving  our  factory.  We  can 
furnish  radiators  in  any  number  of  sections  desired. 

When  ordering  be  sure  to  state  whether  you  want  radiators  for  steam  or  hot  water.

HERCULES  BOILERS,  $29.60 

Our  Hercules  Boilers  Are  Superior  to  Any 
Other  Line  of  Heaters,  Either  Round 
or  Sectional,  That  Are  on  the 
Market  Today 


The  Hercules  Steam  and  Hot  Water  Boilers 
quoted  on  this  page  arc  of  the  vertical  sec¬ 
tional  type  and  have  all  the  advantages  of 
the  round  boiler,  such  as  compact  fire  pot  and 
simplicity  of  construction,  wliile  they  also 
have  the  supeih  r  advantages  of  the  sectional 
])Oilei'S.  such  as  long  fire  travel,  increased 
heating  surface  and  the  correct  proportions 
between  the  gra4e  and  the  heating  surface. 
The  fire  pot  is  deep  and  the  return  flues  ample, 
so  it  will  do  its  work  economically  and  with 
the  least  attention.  It  will  carry  coal  enough 
to  mainlain  perfect  combustion  for  twelve 
Iiours  with  ordinary  care  and  attention.  For 
hot  water  heating  this  heater  is  superior  to 
any  small  heater  on  the  market,  as  it  has  a 
perfect  interior  circulation,  and  this  is  also 
especially  advantageous  for  steam,  as  the 
steam  is  more  easily  generated  and  is  quickly 
separated  from  the  water,  so  that  the  water  is 
not  carried  up  into  the  pipes  with  the  steam. 
The  heater  is  thoroughly  tested  before  leaving 
the  works  and  is  made  up  and  shipped  in  two 
parts;  base  and  grates  in  one  and  the  sections 
in  tlie  other,  which  makes  it  easy  to  erect. 
Its  compact  form  enables  it  to  be  carried  into 
a  building  as  easily  as  a  radiator. 

The  steam  boiler  is  furnished  complete  with 
all  steam  trimmings,  such  as  steam  gauge, 
water  gauge,  and  damper  regulator  and  safety 
valve.  Tliese  are  not  necessary  with  a  hot 
water  boiler.  All  boilers  are  furni.shed  com¬ 
plete  with  firing  tools,  such  as  poker,  hoe  and 
flue  brush. 

Hercules  Steam  and  Hot  Water  Boilers  are 
shipped  from  factory  in  Western  Pennsylvania.

MODERN  PLUMBING 


IS  THE  NAME  OF  OUR  LATEST  PLUMBING  CATALOG,  WHICH  TELLS  IN  DETAIL  ALL  ABOUT  OUR  COMPLETE  LINE  OF  MODERN  UP  TO  DATE 
PLUMBING  FIXTURES,  AND  ALSO  ILLUSTRATES  AND  DESCRIBES  THE  MATERIAL  NECESSARY  FOR  INSTALLING  THEM.  WRITE  FOR  IT. 


Stop  and  consider  what  it  means  to  you  to  be  able  to  save  from  $50.00 
to  $75.00  on  a  bathroom  outfit  or  from  $100.00  to  $150.00  on  the  complete 
plumbing  for  your  house.  Don’t  you  think  it  would  pay  you  to  investi¬ 
gate  our  material,  to  write  for  a  copy  of  our  Plumbing  Catalog  and  see 
for  yourself  whether  or  not  this  statement  is  true?  There  is  no  doubt 
but  that  we  can  make  you  a  large  saving  in  the  plumbing  for  your  build¬ 
ing,  and,  further,  there  is  no  doubt  but  that  we  can  furnish  you  with  a 
very  high  grade  of  plumbing  material. 

Our  reason  for  being  able  to  list  such  high  grade  material  at  exceed¬ 
ingly  low  prices  is  that  we  manufacture  all  of  our  own  plumbing  fixtures 
in  our  own  factory,  which  is  equipped  with  modern  labor  saving  machin¬ 
ery.  In  this  factory  we  employ  the  highest  skilled  mechanics,  who  are 
expert  in  their  work  of  making  high  grade  plumbing  goods.  Because  of 
the  care  taken  in  manufacturing,  we  can  sell  our  plumbing  fixtures  under 
the  binding  guarantee  that  they  will  be  absolutely  satisfactory  in  every 
way,  and  that  our  enameled  goods,  such  as  sinks,  lavatories,  etc.,  are 


made  of  the  highest  grade  of  gray  iron  throughout,  carefully  enameled 
with  the  best  grade  of  white  enamel  which  will  not  chip,  flake  or  crack. 

Our  closet  bowls,  earthenware  tanks,  etc.,  are  made  of  A  1  vitreous 
earthenware  heavily  glazed  and  will  be  found  to  be  equal  to  any  on  the 
market. 

It  is  not  necessary  that  you  employ  an  expert  plumber  to  install  oui 
bathroom  outfits,  kitchen  sinks  or  other  fixtures,  inasmuch  as  we  car 
furnish  all  of  this  material  threaded  for  iron  pipe,  when  so  ordered,  and 
we  send  detailed  instructions  and  working  plans  so  simple  that  anyone 
at  all  handy  with  pipe  fitting  tools  can  do  the  work  of  installing  them. 

Carefully  examine  the  outfit  we  list  on  this  page,  and  then  stop  and 
consider  whether  or  not  you  want  to  pay  your  local  plumber  or  some 
other  concern  a  fabulous  profit  for  your  plumbing  material.  As  stated 
above,  we  manufacture  all  our  own  plumbing  fixtures,  and  the  cost  to 
you  is  the  actual  cost  of  manufacture  with  but  our  small  profit  added. 

Don’t  fail  to  write  for  our  latest  Plumbing  Catalog;  a  postal  card  will 
bring  it.  It  will  mean  a  saving  to  you. 


Perfection  Bathroom  Outfit 


.Just  to  give  you  an  example  of  the  enor¬ 
mous  saving  ve  can  make  you  In  high  grade 
plumbing  goods,  we  list  and  Illustrate  our 
Perfection  Bathroom  Outfit,  consisting  of  a 
tup,  lavatory  and  closet  complete,  with  supply 
and  waste  pipes  to  the  floor  and  wall,  as 
shown  In  the  illustration. 


The  tub  is  made  of  the  highest  grade  of  cast  iron  throughout,  care- 
lully  enameled  on  the  inside  and  i)ainted  on  the  outside.  It  has  a  large 
roll  rim  and  is  equipped  with  a  No.  Jttj  Puller  bath  cock,  bath  supplies, 
and  connected  waste  and  overflow.  The  bath  cock,  supply,  waste  and 
overflow  pipes  are  made  of  brass,  heavily  nickel  plated,  and  with  ordi¬ 
nary  care  will  last  a  lifetime. 

The  lavatory  is  also  made  of  the  highest  grade  of  gray  cast  iron 
and  is  enameled  Inside  and  outside  to  the  bottom  of  the  ai)ron.  It  is 
also  equii)ped  with  brass  supply  .and  waste  pipes,  trap,  and  hot  and 
cold  indexed  liasiu  cocks,  all  of  which  are  heavily  nickel  plated. 

Tlie  closet  is  a  low  down  closet  coml)ination.  The  tank  and  seat 
are  made  of  golden  oak,  highly  polished,  and  the  bowl  is  of  vitreous 
eartlienware  of  the  siphouic  waslidown  type,  heavily  glazed  Inside  and 
outside. 

Compare  this  outfit  with  i)athrooni  outfits  offered  by  other  houses 
handling  plumtiing  goods,  wlio  advertise  in  magazines  and  elsewhere, 
and  you  will  find  tiiat  they  cannot  furnish  you  with  an  outfit  of  the 
same  quality  and  manufacture  ns  the  one  listed  below  at  anywhere 
near  tlie  price  we  ask  for  it. 

Ask  your  local  plumber  what  he  would  charge  for  an  outfit  of  this 
kind  and  see  what  he  tells  you.  He  will  probably  say  that  he  can 
install  the  outfit  in  your  home  for  $1.50.00.  Stop  and  consider  what  this 
means.  It  means  that  he  is  making  an  enormous  profit  on  the  bath¬ 
room  outfit  he  is  selling  you,  and  is  also  making  a  large  profit  on  the 
material  for  installing  it  and  the  actual  work  of  putting  it  in. 


No.  42C9214  Perfection  Bathroom  Outfit,  complete.  Price . $37.95 

For  the  convenience  of  our  customers  we  can  furnish  the  above  outfit  with  all  fittings  threaded  for  iron  pipe  connections 

at  an  extra  charge  of  $1.50.
